Yup
I'm one of the worst for saying that I'll be building a beetle yet have still to get round to it. But hopefully (fingers crossed) once the champs are done and dusted I'll start work on one or two machines.

Count me as one of the 'worst', I've still yet to start building my AW

If the/an arena is ready.. any chance of an event in mid September? Feels unusual to have a machine that actually works and hasn't been minced by a spinner yet, this needs to be resolved.

I've had a mad idea which involves a spinner, some nail brushes and some rumble motors from a ps2 controller.
Dangerous and unpredictable!

snap, although 1 decent hit to one of my wheels will snap the servo horn

i think kilobots are a good way of filling that gap between ants and feathers. can still be quite cheap to build and aint as small and fiddily as ant weights

Agreed. So does anyone know if an arena is going to emerge where we can run these machines?

Can anyone recommend some nice powerful drive motors for a BW? I've got an idea which is slightly more conventional than my last.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

has anybody got a link to those 360 degree standard stock servos? like not modified or anything but just built to go 360, im sure i saw them at a event a while back, thanks!

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Tempted to do a CO2 powered axe robot, kind of like scorpion. 2 motors for drive, the only question is what to use for the gas tank. Also does the weight check include the weight of the CO2 in the tank?

jack: just hack some standard size servos

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Yeah, i was kinda wanting to get some of the pre modded ones seeing as my hacking skills aren't great, and to test them out for future users
